This was not very good. We got chicken and veggies bowls.the chicken was the best part of it. But it was just teriyaki chicken. Nothing too exciting. They forgot the added ginger I ordered. The veggies are mainly cabbage and a tiny bit of broccoli. Idk about the tacos, we didn't get any, but I definitely wouldn't go back to find out. On positive the food was ready quickly and the staff was friendly

Food is okay for price point. I would go if you're able to speak Spanish. I used to go about twice a week, the portion sizes kept getting smaller and smaller. It became almost all rice and little meat and veggies

This place is great if you are in college, on a budget and don't have big concerns with things like flavor profiles. I've been here once and that was about enough for me. They use white rice, and the most basic and cheap vegetables. I tried to eat healthy, and this was not achieved. Look for a place which uses better ingredients if you are more health oriented.

Probably the best deal on State street! The mini chicken bowl was by far enough for a meal. Can't even imagine what the bigger sizes are like. Probably a lot like the mini, but bigger!

I agree with the other reviewers that the service isn’t the best. However, you don’t come here for the service, you come here because it is a simple menu and flavor consistency. Spicy Mayo is best I have ever had ever! I’ve been coming to the IV and SB one for 7yrs, tried everything on menu, from accidentally ordering vegan chicken thinking they changed the chicken and loving it to the random boba flavors they come out with. It used to be a bang for your buck, but hey, it’s still too good to not get! Must be a 5 star review considering it’s a balanced meal and simple! Love Hana Kitchen.

The food looked really tasty and portion sizes were large! Even the mini bowl was a generous amount of food!

They used to have above average chicken and above average brown rice-it was always moist and the service was good not excellent. BUT now the Services is very rude and slow, the chicken and rice is dry-we've gone back many times.however the quality is getting worse and the cashiers and time to wait is getting unacceptable. I'm done with this restaurant. I work too hard for my money.

Food is good been coming here for years but the service lately has been going down. The new girl who I haven’t seen before has an attitude while the rest are okay.

Go here & eat the Mango teriyaki chicken tacos. No need to thank me. Oh and they are open late. Even better. My wife would also kill me if she knew I posted that pic!

The online menu is not anything like what’s offered in the restaurant. Were not offering their drinks or vegan options. Cashier was very rude

Not a great experience. The spicy chicken was not spicy at all. And the chicken breast pieces with raw cabbage leaves and rice is not a great combination that you would savor. Also took the north sea shrimp which again wasn't anything great. The mangso lush boba was nice though, for which I'm leaving two stars. Would not recommend this place.

Got a chicken bowl. It was pretty simple, but still delicious. Pretty cheap too.
The staff were nice. Service was quick. Interior of the restaurant was really basic though, and looked a bit worn out.

The vegan chicken tasted like undercooked chicken and the veggies in the bowl consisted of two broccoli stems without any florets

Haven’t eaten here in years, enjoyed it before though but tonight the chicken was mushy somehow and had no flavor, also cold. The cabbage smelled and the rice was dense and tasteless. Service was rude and the place was dirty. Won’t be back.
